Rogues and Hybrids

It was an insult.

A huge insult to the King and the Queen as well as Ulva. Yet, in front of Matthew, Drigo could do nothing aside from glaring at him. Soon, he moved his gaze to Ava who looked just as surprised and irritated as them. Slowly, a plan appeared on Drigo's mind.

When Ava heard that, she couldn't help but stare at the King. Ava was standing behind Matthew and since the King was sitting right across Matthew, she could clearly see the older man's expression.
